I seem to remember that WDS running on a single AP could handle authenication for up to 100 AP's. I also read where there can only be one AP running WDS on a given broadcast domain. All of my AP's, close to 150, are on one VLAN or broadcast domain. Am I going to run into issues as I get closer to 200 AP's? Anyone know of any options?

You can use only up to 60 aps per AP in on domain if he is ONLY WDS AP and not an ap for clients.
if you need really that much you gonna need a WLSM Module for an CAT6500.

That all depends on the amount of roaming that is occuring in your environment. There is no limit to the number of APs on a VLAN if fastroaming functionality is not needed. Cisco now says that dedicated WDS servers (APs) can support up to 60 APs...it used to be only 30. If fastroaming is extreamly critical to your network I wouldn't chance it. I've seen WDS problems cause up to 90 sec outages before a secondary WDS will assume primary responsibilities...definately not cool in my situation.

Are you actually supporting 150 infrastructure APs while utilizing only one WDS AP? Does it actually work? I find my self involved in a project with 150APs where all are in the same management VLAN. I really don't want to carve up this network into multiple subnets. In addition there are no wlan client authentications to support. Clients are running WEP encryption only. Considering I only need the WDS domain architecture for Radio managment interfacing to the WLSE do you think this will work?
